about
The International Academy for Mediation and Arbitration (IAMA) Arbitration Center is an Egyptian center with international expertise, established in 2010 to conduct commercial arbitration at the international and regional levels. It serves as a legal means for resolving commercial and administrative disputes according to the parties' will and agreement.
The Center is headquartered in the Arab Republic of Egypt, Dakahlia Governorate, Mansoura City, 36 El-Geish Street, Aknan Tower, 9th Floor, Apartment No. (1) - Above the Housing and Construction Bank. It is referred to in these regulations as "the Center" and is considered one of the entities established under the umbrella of the Academy.
Why do investors and companies prefer consensual means of dispute settlement?
Disputing parties, especially in commercial and economic transactions, prefer to resort to negotiation, mediation, and arbitration to settle their disputes that have arisen or may arise from these transactions. This is to escape the difficulty of litigation and to reach a settlement by mutual consent.
It is known that the official law of the state is made by humans who are prone to error or oversight. In some cases and situations, the law may be unfair. In addition, the judicial system faces challenges such as a shortage of judges, a lack of specialization, and an increase in the number of cases, which has led to a backlog of cases and a burden on courts. In addition, some people exploit procedural rules to waste rights or even delay the resolution of cases. This has led to complaints about the quality of justice, to the point of denying it. Under these circumstances, disputing parties have turned to mediation and arbitration to settle their disputes outside of the state judiciary.
Therefore, we advise those involved in commercial and economic transactions to resort to amicable methods of dispute resolution, whether through negotiation or mediation. If it is not possible to reach a solution that satisfies the parties, then specialized arbitration should be used.
To this end, the parties should stipulate in the contract, either in its body or after the dispute arises, that they will prioritize the amicable settlement of disputes. They should also specify a short period, not exceeding two months, for this purpose.
The Dispute Resolution Center at the Academy has been equipped to hold dispute resolution sessions using alternative dispute resolution methods under the Academy's internal regulations or the rules agreed upon by the parties. The Center includes a group of distinguished arbitrators, lawyers, and specialists in various fields, including:
